Keanu Reeves to star in BRZRKR, a film based on the comic he wrote himself

We all know Keanu Reeves for his incredible work on dozens of movies, but one of his other great passions is writing comics. A few months ago, the handsome actor launched a comic series with Matt Kindt and Ron Garney called BRZRKR, pronounced “Berserker”, which has been a success.

That’s why Netflix now ordered the creation of an R-rated movie based on the comics, starring Reeves. In addition, he will be in charge of giving voice to an animated series of the same story, with Kindt as producer and part of the main cast.

The 12-volume comic tells the story of B, a half-mortal, half-god man, condemned to eternal violence. However, as the centuries pass, B could have found his refuge working for the American government in exchange for answers about his existence and how to end it once and for all.

About the project with Netflix, the protagonist of Matrix stated that they hired Mattson Tomlin to write the film, which is still in the early stages of development. On the other hand, the animated series will show another part of B’s ​​story without neglecting his essence as a character.

Yes OK BRZRKR is a comic full of violence that explores the depths of humanity, war and the battle for existence, it has become one of the most successful stories in recent years, since it managed to sell more than 600 thousand units in its first release .

Although there are no details yet on when filming will begin for this ambitious film or details on the exact history of the animated series, Netflix is ​​already working with Reeves, Kindt and Tomlin to develop the projects and begin pre-production on each.

We’ve been working with Netflix, they’ve been pretty cool. They’re going to let us do a Category R story, which is amazing. My hope is not to make an identical version to the one in the comics, definitely the character and his personality will be the same, but we want to take him to different places. We have spoken with various animation companies to see what we can do with this story.
